Yesterday, the 7th of February 2008, I stopped biting my fingernails. I have only successfully stopped biting my nails once, and that lasted about two months before I chewed them all off again (thank university exams for that). This time I am going cold turkey, last time I used that terrible tasting stuff to deter myself and that seemed to work well. But this time I want to do it without any aid so I can finally stop forever.
I have been biting my nails since I was 6, a whole 18 years I have been using nail biting as my stress relief method, and my anti-boredom remedy. I really am an absent minded nail biter, I'll look down and realise my fingers are in my mouth after I have already chewed the nail off. Well it is time to stop. The only other stree relief method I have is pulling out my eyebrows, I probably have some for of OCD. And yes, I know it is gross. I hate the way my nails look, and I cringe when people look at anything on my hands. I am also severly jealous of those with beautiful nails. So, today is day two. By tomorrow I should be crazy. But i want my nails to go from looking like this:

to looking like this:

And, no. That first picture is not of my actual nails. Although, mine look only slightly less horrid.
Wish me luck.
